Michael Lewis in Conversation with Ira Glass

Michael Lewis is the author of The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine. It should be noted that Lewis is not referring to a doomsday machine in the classical sense. That is, the book is not about a machine that is rigged to blow up the planet if the Soviet Union and United States unleash a rainbow of ICBMs at one another. No, his concept of a doomsday machine has been updated for the present day: global financial collapse!
